Hello. Do you recommend mojo 2 as a desktop solution, Marantz pm 6006 and Dali Oberon3? Mojo 1 had LINE OUT. Mojo 2 doesn't have it. how do you adjust the correct output voltage? Thank you.

Blue orbs, balls haha too funny. Thank you for always putting a fun twist in your videos!

Thanks for the review - really interested in this little unit as a desktop dac for headphones or possibly stand alone depending on the headphone sensitivity - are you still planning on a mojo 2 headphone review?

@@Hifyed. Hello . I mainly listen to streaming music Amazon Music with iPad directly connected to my Harman kardon 3380 and paired with b & w 706 s2 speakers .can chord mojo 2 be used as a dac in between my iPad and hk3380 ? How is it’s EQ , can it help in offsetting some of the brightnesss of my speakers ?

How Mojo 2 compared to a DAC inside dedicted amplifier?

Hi. Potential issue I have noticed with Mojo 2 is that when mojo is connected to power source the electric current leaks into a chasis. It feels like slight tingling under fingers when you touch the mojo. I've tried many chargers and it is always the same. Does yours doing something similar or perhaps I have a faulty unit? Many thanks.

That's dangerous and faulty.

Very cool, guys. Would you use this with an all in one amp that already has a built in dac? If so, would the built in dac be completely shot off? Or can you use both together?

This would be an upgrade to a lot of built in dacs. You always however have be careful not to use an external dac that you don’t like better than the built in one.

So you would plug in a 3.5mm output to the amp in a hi-fi setup? How would this sound compare to the Chord Qutest?

@Hifyed

That is correct! It also battery saver mode so you can keep it plugged in without overcharging. Although I have not compared directly from what I remember the Qutest is the way to go.

Can I ask what is needed to connect to IPhone? Lightening to USB? I seem to remember the OG Mojo needed two cables to make this connection.

You need one cable, USB-C to lightning. Or if you have iphone 15/15 pro then USB-c to USB-c.

I use mojo2 together with Poly, it make a hifi streamer Dac a portable set up. Also I hook it to my $20000us hi Fi system and the sound from this little machine is awesome 🤩

Hi. I am about to get Marantz 40n which has built in internal DAC. But I also have Mojo 2. I will obviously compare the two, but in your opinion, would you think Mojo 2 set as preamp would work better than using built in Marantz 40n DAC?

I'd love to try one. I'm using a dragonfly currently. This would be an obvious upgrade

Ok, let's make our dream Mojo 3 because there's no way I'm buying a device with Micro USB in 2024. a) 2x USB-C ports b) 3.5 and 4.4 balanced. I have zero use for two 3.5 outs and I can't imagine many people are ever using this "feature." c) Much faster startup. 20 seconds? My Schiit tube amp takes less time to kick on. d) much improved heat dissipation... c'mon, this is still an issue?

Did anyone try using a different PSU for this in desktop mode? I was thinking of the iFi iPower X. I've asked on the forums but nobody ever gives any feedback. I use an iPower X on a Zen Stream and it did improve the sound. I was going to get another one for my internet hub/router. I use a Mojo 2 in desktop mode and although the snob in me thinks I should be using a desktop DAC not a portable- it works great and the EQ is really good. I'm tempted to try a Qutest but when I used EQ in Roon- it created some digititus, some bad sounding digital artifacts. I'm thinking I'll stick with the Mojo 2. One thing- I use an Audioquest carbon USB-C cable from the Zen Stream. That was worth it for a bump in sound quality, smoother, cleaner sound. Going to upgrade the 3.5mm to RCA out as well.

Thank you for taking the time to chime in! That is a good idea to try a different psu in desktop mode 🤔. I know quite a few people who are enthusiasts and the use the mojo as a desktop setup. Some I know someone who uses it in his DJ setup that brings to venues!

I just use an old Ipad plug, when I spoke to Chord support they mentioned it being what the usually recommend, I'm no expert but it seems to work fine for me. To quote "We tend to recommend the original type iPad charger because it was designed to work with a product that had the same setup" If you google the below text you'll see the link they gave me ~ fonehaus "genuine Apple A1357 adapter plus MD818ZMA Lightning data sync cable."

it's a perfect digital volume output, so there's no distortion at any volume level. So you can just balance the output volume to whatever you like on the volume control and not worry @@burghelvasile3313
